We used to eat at Allen’s cigar store all the time. My Dad knew the man that ran it and then aslo the woman who took over (can’t remember their names). They had good shakes and hot dogs. It’s funny how that corner still looks like the Haynes and Essick shop, even in that yellow.

The owner/operators of Allen’s Cigar Store for many years was Edward (Ed) Reavly & his wife Nora (Tiny) Reavley. I knew them both very well because I was employed across the Street at Coe’s Book Store for 25 years and had lunch at Allen’s quite frequently.
Thanks for passing along the owner’s names. I think Mrs Reavley sold me my first pipe. She said “A bulldog (shape) always looks good on a young man”, and that was that. Nice people, great store, good times.
This corner was the busiest at one time…on the corners were: Ford Hopkins Drug Store; Allen’s Cigar Store; Coe’s Book Store and the U.S. Post Office…Great night spots: Saddle Club; The Sazrac; The Press Club behind Coe’s (in the alley)….movies @ the Senate, steakburgers @ Steak&Shake across from Senate (I remember waitress Mary Buscher)
I saw soooo many movies at the Senate.
